“For everyone that is listening and will be viewing this video – we oppose HB 1105. It is legislation that will be on the floor of the House of Representatives and that reflects racism and discrimination to the immigrant community in general. We condemn that police pursue the Latino community for only racial reasons. We also condemn that we are used as scapegoats by politicians that want to enrich their political platforms. We will not allow this and we say enough is enough of the mistreatment of our communities. Please join this campaign where we are asking senators to vote NO on HB 1105. We must all come together to stop all these legislative policies that come to directly attack our community. We are not toys, we are not pieces of cardboard that they can do whatever they want with our lives for political purposes.
Today we say NO to HB 1105 and also to 287 (g), we say NO to racism, we say NO to all laws that affect, impact, aggravate, and arrest our communities that have contributed so much to this country for more than 30 years.
We can not continue to permit that these proposals continue and take political advantage of the Latino community. We say we are going to come out, we are going to mobilize, we are going to vote in these coming elections. Let your voices be heard, participate, mobilize, inform yourself, educate yourself – the legislation has not passed. It is important that you know it has not passed. There are unconstitutional things that they do not explain. We need to mobilize, organize, participate and search out friends that have the capacity to vote – and have them vote. This is the only way we can remove all the legislators that only want to benefit from the anti-immigrant sentiment. We condemn HB 1105, enough of them using the community, enough of them using us to enrich their political platforms. We condemn the racism against our community, the discrimination and the racial profiling. Come with us, we are going to fight, we are going to the streets, we are going to mobilize, support the cause. The fight continues. The fight continues. Not one more deportation.”
